Morality and alignment are two of the trickiest issues in tabletop RPGs. Every player has their own perspective, beliefs and biases and they frequently come out during play. How do you deal with conflicts over moral dilemmas? We go over several possible reasons why this occurs and how to resolve it.

All the World’s a Stage: Would a WoW LARP work?
August 23, 2010 by Jim Moreno
So, if you’re like me, you’d be interested in playing a World of Warcraft LARP. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve written game rules out of virtually nothing, so I spent some time wondering about the challenges we’d have to overcome to successfully run this game. I saw four main issues. I should say that I don’t consider any of these problems insurmountable, but they are issues any gamemaster would need to address.

Erotic Role-Play Police to Patrol World of Warcraft
August 5, 2010 by Jim Moreno
ERP does not belong in WoW, and I’m all for this. And the statement “impossible to have someone watching all the time” is absolutely false. Now it’s up to the real roleplayers to get in there and bring quality RP back to Goldshire.

We’re Bringing RP Back
July 7, 2010 by Jim Moreno
I wholeheartedly endorse this!
This project began by accident. Pazzolupo, after a few no-shows, finally appeared in Azeroth on a roleplay server yesterday evening to game with me. We had new characters which proved to be less than challenging, so naturally, on a roleplay server, we decided to interact with the world around us in-character to add to our fun. As a group, Multiplayers tend to roll on RP servers in MMOs. We’re not strong RPers, but we do the best we can to respect the community and continue immersion. We generally enjoy the resulting atmosphere of the game more. The consequences of our actions were like none I’ve ever experienced before.

June 29, 2010 by Jim Moreno
The raw amount of new and different content will open up hundreds of thousands of new experiences. If we consider roleplay is motivated by a character’s interaction with his environment, it’s easy to see how tons of new interactions will be opened up. These new opportunities for interpretations and interactions are increased exponentially.
